cleaning out the cleaning supplies
I got a jump on organizing and decided to start somewhere quick & easy – cleaning out the cleaning supplies. (Oh, the irony of having to clean and organize your cleaning supplies!) But, I figured it would be a job that would take about 30 minutes and I would fly through it. I don’t have […]
Montauk Blue Slate Tile Floors | Two Years Later
There are some projects that are completed, shared here on the blog, and then I don’t get asked about them again. Then, there are others that surface over and over.

easy crochet cat (or dog) bed tutorial & pattern
Shortly after we brought our kitties home from adoption day at our local pet store, I crocheted them each a cat bed. They weren’t interested in the beds at first, much to my dismay, but then I would find them snuggled together in them regularly. They are now a staple in front of the fireplace […]
